《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 147 : Nangong Yiren

After that, in succession, they heard several beeps.
Caihong sent several messages at once. Meaning this is a very important thing!
"Okay, we get it. The news you just got. Does it have anything to do with the things we're dealing with?" Yixiong asked.
"Wait a minute, Sir, I'll read the news first." Jingkang then started reading the news he got. Because there were several pager messages, it took Jingkang almost five minutes to read them all.
Every message that comes in must be so long.
"So?" Yiren asked. "Is there any new information?"
"That's right, Sir! It's about Mr. Duanmu and Miss Lüqiu."
"Caihong said what?" Yixiong’s voice trembled slightly.
"At the time of the explosion, right in front of the mall, there happened to be a television station shooting a news program. The producer of the news program is a friend of one of Mr. Caihong’s older brothers. From the video they took, there was indeed a girl, whose characteristics were similar to those of Miss Lüqiu, entered the mall through the main door. Just now, the producer sent his courier to send the photo of the girl to the hospital where Mr. Zhuge is being treated. Mr. Caihong recognized that the girl in the photo was indeed Miss Lüqiu."
"So Miss Lüqiu did follow us to the mall," said Yiren."Then, what else did he say?" Yixiong asked.
"That's all, Sir! Mr. Mingzhu will inform us if there are any recent developments," said Jingkang.
"Regarding Zhuge, doesn't he have any family?" Yixiong asked.
"I don't know for sure, Sir! I think there is, but it will take time to contact them. Maybe later Mr. Mingzhu will ask another employee to be with Mr. Zhuge at the hospital. At least until his family comes there," said Jingkang.

"I never thought that Mr. Zhuge’s condition turned out to be much worse than we originally thought," said Yiren. "Hope he gets better soon."
Yixiong suddenly looked to his left. His hand reached out towards Gongxi. "We were already through here! Are we going in circles?"
Yiren also observed the surrounding area. Indeed, they had already passed this place.
"What is it, Mr. Gongxi?" Jingkang asked.
"I suspect a car is following us. I tried to turn around to see if the car is really following us," Gongxi said.
"After we go around like this, is the car still following us?" Yiren’s chest was pounding.
"Yes, Sir! The car is still following us."
"What's the car like?" Yixiong asked.
"There will be a turn ahead. I will turn left there. A few meters from the turn, there is a small alley on the left side of the road. I will try to enter the alley. If the car is still following us, then he will take a left turn. But the driver will definitely not suspect that we will immediately turn into a small alley that is there. Later, you can see clearly what car has been following us," said Gongxi.
Gongxi was right. Ahead of them was a turn to the left. Gongxi picked up speed. Not much, but quite significant. He turned left. A few seconds later, he suddenly twisted into a small alley on the left of the road. As soon as it turned, the car immediately stopped there. Yiren held his breath. It took extraordinary skill and experience to be able to make sharp turns like that.
Luckily, this alley is empty. There are no other people or vehicles. But what if there are other people or vehicles? This old man's plan will definitely not work. How could he be so sure that his plan would work?

"Now, we wait. Soon the car will pass behind us," said Gongxi.
Yixiong and Yiren looked back. They were both ready to peer through the rear window of the car. Jingkang got up from the chair and shifted his body into the gap between the two chairs in front. Gongxi watched the situation through the rearview mirror.
And everything happened exactly as Gongxi said. There was a car passing on the main road behind them. The car was moving fast without stopping. Apparently, the driver’s focus was to keep moving forward. He hadn’t realized that the car he was following was no longer in front of him.
"Hah?" Jingkang shouted.
"What is it?" Yixiong asked.
Yiren turned. He saw Jingkang gaping.
After closing his mouth, Jingkang looked at Yiren and Yixiong. He blurted, "That's the car that was involved in the accident in front of the convenience store."
